Tottenham central defender Micky Van de Ven admitted that he and his teammates had to play better than last night against Bodo / Glimt.
The Netherlands marked when the Spurs came from 2-0 to shoot 2-2 in Norway, but it was not the best result in a match that Thomas Frank’s team would have been supposed to win.
Frank has taken a decent life as a manager of Tottenham since he joined Brentford in summer, but there may still be a little adjustment period.
Asked about it, Van de Ven admitted that he thought that Tottenham could and should play better than that, but also praised the team’s mentality to return from two goals and snatch a draw …

How did Tottenham started under Thomas Frank?
Tottenham seems to be heading in a fairly positive direction under the direction of Frank, even if it is not exactly the most sensational start of the 2025/26 season.
Until now, he made five victories from the first ten games of the season for the Spurs, with three draws and two defeats, one of which was only after a penalty shootout against Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup.
The THFC also has four points of their first two matches in the Champions League, which is not too bad, although they are now on a series of three draws and a victory in their last four games all competitions.
This victory was against Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup, so Frank could certainly make three points on the set soon in the Premier League or in the Champions League.
Players like Van de Ven will surely be essential to help Spurs this season, when there are also a few other talented young players who will continue to improve, such as Xavi Simons and Lucas Bergvall.
